…goes full bigot.
I ranted about this a couple days ago. As he points out, of course, they have a real diversity problem over there.

The Profit Of Mohammed
…and the cowards at the Associated Press.
Elon’s Mars Colony
Ari Armstrong is favorably impressed:
The long-term benefits of an off-world colony to our lives would be enormous. Not only would such a colony open the solar system to commercialization, reaping unimaginable wealth from the development of vast resources and energy; it would also establish a new frontier with new possibilities for human liberty. Both in terms of industrial development and political innovation, a colony on Mars could be as important as were the British colonies in America. The future of human progress, and possibly even the future of true freedom, may depend on off-world colonization. In any event, human life certainly will be greatly enhanced by it.
I wish that more people understood this.

Decides to see what’s up with space.
It’s hard to know where to start, but she should have at least gotten a second opinion…
The Politicians’ War On Science
It’s both red and blue. My thoughts over at PJMedia.
Burt Rutan And Climate Change
Why he doubts it, at least as far as it being anthropogenic. It would be nice if someone would transcribe this, and pull screenshots of the charts.
[Update a couple minutes later]
Dendrochronologists (including Keith Briffa) (hockey) stick it to the Mann.
When Work Is Punished
The tragedy of the welfare state.
But don’t accuse them of wanting to create a large dependency class, with accompanying votes.
Space Transports
What is the future of reusable launch vehicles?
It should be clear by now that it’s hopeless to expect the government to do it.
Centennial Challenges
It’s dead, Jim. Give it to FAA, and let Davidian run it again.
The New Science Committee Chair
…will be Lamar Smith.
Sigh. I wonder who will be the chairman of the space subcommittee?
Someone should point out to him that the SLS is eating the budget for a lot of JSC programs, and that it isn’t needed to launch Orion or to go beyond LEO.
